The Olive Oil Guy is now a Certified B Corporation™ 🎉
Third-party verified. People, planet, and flavour—measured.

Why this matters (and what it says about us)
We didn’t start OOG to be another “nice label on a shelf.” We started it to raise the bar for how olive oil is sourced, judged, and enjoyed—from grove to your kitchen. B Corp certification is how we prove that the way we do business matches what we say we believe.
In short, B Corps meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency—verified by B Lab. It looks across the whole business—workers, community, environment, customers, and governance—not just profits. Curious what’s evaluated? See the B Impact Assessment.
What B Corp actually means (no buzzwords, just facts)
- Achieve a verified score of 80+ on the B Impact Assessment.
- Make a legal commitment to consider all stakeholders—not just shareholders (see the certification requirements).
- Maintain a public profile and re-verify on a recurring cycle as standards strengthen (learn about the new B Corp Standards).
Translation: policies, data, supplier practices—the works. It’s a high bar (as it should be).
What this looks like at OOG
- Sommelier-led sourcing. Single-varietal and regional oils with traceable provenance (learn the official olive-oil categories).
- Grower respect. We work closely with producers so quality and fairness travel together.
- Less waste, more taste. Thoughtful formats, considered logistics, durability over disposability.
- Radical clarity. Plain-English labels, open supply partnerships, real education over hype.
Certification doesn’t change our DNA—it validates it. And for the curious, extra-virgin olive oil’s benefits are widely studied— here’s a simple overview from Harvard Health.
What changes for you
- Confidence. A third party has assessed our impact across the business via the B Impact Assessment.
- Better information. We’ll keep sharing what we’re improving next, aligned with evolving B Corp standards.
- Same obsession with flavour. Freshness, varietal character, and food-pairing first. Always.
The road here (and ahead)
B Corp asks for evidence, not vibes. We’re committed to continuous improvement as standards evolve— see how the bar is rising in the performance requirements.
